Show Notes
If there's a favorite gardening activity of yours, chances are you'll be able to do it during the month of August.
In this episode, Don and John break down some of your main to-do items for the month of August, including fertilizing, weeding and dividing some perennials. You could likely start picking tomatoes or digging a few potatoes, too, and you might still be able to plant some radishes and greens.
